Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Salsa (your favorite brand or homemade)
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season it evenly on all sides with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 3
Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker (or large Dutch oven if cooking on the stovetop).
Step 4
Pour the salsa and beef broth over the beef, ensuring the meat is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Step 5
Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours (or 4-5 hours on high) until the beef is fork-tender and easily shredded.
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board. Shred the beef using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.
Step 7
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir well to coat it in the salsa mixture. Add fresh lime juice and mix thoroughly.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or lime juice if necessary.
Step 9
Serve warm in tacos, burritos, or rice bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
